    Before a kid steps on campus, or puts on a uniform, they should have any agreement in WRITING.

    With all respect I really don't understand thinking this guy will get anywhere close to 500k to 1.5 million. Just look at his stats, under 60% completion at Holy Cross and 43.8% this year. If he could have made that much he wouldn't have gone to UNLV for 100k.

      He’s a running quarterback. You’re cherry-picking his stats to make an argument. Interest in him will be limited. But, I don’t blame him for holding UNLV accountable for its shady bait and switch recruiting. Barry Odom thought they could nickel and dime this kid and string him along. Sluka put a very public end to it. ☝🏽

    • @Forester-
      @Forester- 16 днів тому +3

      @zplapplap A running quarterback is still supposed to complete a serviceable percentage of passes. And even still, his production just isn't worth anywhere close to what the guy said. Those numbers rival the NIL valuation for starting top 10 quarterbacks.

    • @zplapplap
      @zplapplap 16 днів тому +4

      @@Forester- I don’t know about NIL valuation beyond the reporting. Do you? I remember Sluka getting some attention before his transfer. He was an FCS all-American and won a lot of games at Holy Cross. He was also winning at UNLV despite not having the benefit of spring practice. 🤷🏾‍♂️
      This was the wrong guy for UNLV’s media narrative. Sluka was at Holy Cross for four years and graduated before leaving. He was not going to UNLV for a scholarship and he wasn’t going to leave without being severely aggrieved. He was the wrong guy. UNLV should have paid him what he was both promised and owed.

    You guys are going by one side of the story. I find it ironic that he leaves after he hires an agent that’s not registered in the state. Did you see the new QB today? He is better. UNLV won’t miss him.

    Probably provide them more money in the future. It seems like they needed the money now.

    "UNLV should have paid" is exactly my feeling. How are you supposed to explain to the fucking fans that the season is over because our ticket money can't cover your poverty program to pay for the starting QB that is netting you a 3-0 start.

      @jman1562001 15 днів тому +2

      My question is how the team didn't come to terms after he won the starting job. And why string the team along knowing you got a QB who is disgruntled. If the assistant made this offer and their are text to prove it, they can win this in court because I believe Nevada accepts verbal agreement cases. 🤝 smh.

      Not quite. The running back is not similarly situated and committed to leaving for different reasons. Sluka’s problem was not playing time, and the other guy, Allen, had not said that he has a deal, or was promised, NIL money.
